Abstract

In this essay, I draw from the public testimonies of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) and argue, from a constructionist perspective, that the stories that women survivors brought to the TRC were stories of healing and reconciliation. I explore how gender and the maternal body might be central in shaping this discourse of forgiveness and reconciliation—in other words, not only how processes of reconciliation may be gendered but also how they may be embodied.
